1:08:05
They've gone. When?
1:08:09
But people don't do such things.
l don't care how sudden it was.

1:08:12
You should have let me....
1:08:14
All l can say is, l never heard
of such a thing in all my life before.

1:08:20
- Mother, l want to talk to you.
- What?

1:08:23
lt's about Ernest and me.
l want to talk to you

1:08:26
Paula, don't bother me now,
for pity's sake.

1:08:29
- l can't listen to your
- But, Mother, you don't understand.

1:08:32
- This is terribly important.
- Paula, shut up, l tell you.

1:08:35
Let me think.
1:08:37
Millicent, would you mind awfully
if l didn't go to the theater tonight?

1:08:41
l'm feeling pretty rotten.
1:08:43
- lf l could just go to bed
- What's that you're saying?

1:08:46
l'm feeling pretty rotten.
l'm up against a business thing.

1:08:49
A business thing. At a time like this,
you talk to me about a business thing...

1:08:54
and feeling rotten.
1:08:55
This is a nice time to say
you're feeling rotten.

1:08:58
You come to me with your....
And you whimpering about Ernest.

1:09:01
Some little lovers' quarrel.
1:09:03
l'm expected to listen to Ernest, business,
and headaches...

1:09:05
when l'm half out of my mind.
1:09:07
Do you know what's happened to me?
1:09:09
l've had the most ghastly day
anybody ever had.

1:09:12
No aspic for dinner...
1:09:14
and Ricky in jail
and Gustave dying, for all l know...

1:09:17
and a new butler tonight,
and that Vance woman coming in.

1:09:19
And having to send for crabmeat.
1:09:21
Crabmeat!
1:09:23
And now, on top of everything else...
1:09:26
the Ferncliffes aren't coming to dinner.
1:09:29
They call up at this hour,
the miserable cockneys.

1:09:32
They call up to say they've gone to Florida.
1:09:35
Who can l get at this hour? Nobody.
l've got eight people for dinner.

1:09:38
Eight people isn't a dinner. Who can l get?
1:09:40
You come to me with your idiotic little....
l am the one who ought to be in bed.

1:09:45
l'm the one who's in trouble.
1:09:47
You don't know what trouble is,
either of you!
